NOTES OF E. D. STASOVA.

402'.
To the Org. Bureau of the CC.
[April 15, 1919]

In my opinion, you are also unfairly wronging Garin.¹ He has considerable scope and breadth. I would stand for his appointment to a fairly high post—either military or in the political department of the army.

Lenin.

¹ S. Garin, former chairman of the Helsingfors Soviet of the Army and Fleet, informed Lenin in a letter about improper use of him as a worker. Lenin wrote this note to Stasova, secretary of the CC, on the back of Garin's letter to him.

On Garin's letter, on the right—Lenin's note: "See reverse side."
